Bryan Johnson: How Not to Die in 2025

[@uurk5lo4]

The host is simply brilliant! 👌👌 Her measured calm approach, great questions, super followup questions, brought out the best in Bryan!👍 She is among the best interviewer's that I've come across! 👏👏

[@winnersofchampions]

I would totally agree with that statement. She had a very intelligent and thought out line of questioning. She’s also kind and considerate.

[@skippy6462]

People often think I’m hardcore when it comes to health, but I’m really just where everyone should aim to be: plant-based, avoiding junk food, not smoking or drinking, prioritizing good sleep, managing stress, staying active every day, and cherishing your loved ones. It’s not about being extreme-it’s about embracing simple habits that lead to a vibrant, balanced life. Start with these basics, and the rest will follow!

[@CenturionVII]

this exactly!! Make the habit sustainable for yourself so that you can actually stick to it long term! They perceive it as extreme only because it seems far away from their current habits but then in reality it really isn't!!

[@stevejhkhfda]

good for you. plant based is the way fwd.

[@slavkodesik855]

I love the deterministic tone of Brian's message. It resonated with me so much that I started exploring ways to lose weight and live healthier. Adopted the Slow carb diet by Tim Ferriss, started lifting weights soon after, and eventually returned to vigorous exercise (an older bodyweight program, called Insanity: The Asylum). Peter Attia and Rhonda Patrick have also convinced me of the importance of a having a high VO2max and muscle size/strength. Even when I steer away from this regimen, I now feel much more comfortable having a solid base to return to. I love how predictable each intervention is with regards to how I feel. So much so that I can now clearly notice the connection between feeling optimistic and comfortable in my body, as opposed to pessimistic and anxious. These efforts contributed greatly towards overcoming panic disorder (along with CBT), and a sense of optimism for life in general. Sleeping is still a tough nut to crack personally, as I have two children below the age of 5, and getting them to bed leaves me so exhausted at the end of the day that I just want to chill out, read, watch something, etc. But I'm now seeing the connection between these behaviors and bad phenomenology, and early bedtime and a sense of calm and rejuvenation. The question then becomes simple - Do I want to feel good today, and tomorrow, and in the near future; or do I want to feel bad today, worse tomorrow, and possibly suffer needlessly in the near future?

[@hairy708]

I find it interesting that so many people fear death that they never get to live. Im not saying anything negative towards him, I find him intriguing. One has to remember he does this for a living, if an everyday citizens done this the added stress alone would cancel out most benefits. One thing is for sure deep clear sleep and sound mind is the secret to health.

In 100 years from now, when death and decay of our loved ones from aging is no longer inevitable, but easily preventable, we will look back at this time and people like Bryan as heroes. Same way as we now look at creators of penicillin in 20th or popularizers of hygiene in the 19th century. And the thought of people just getting old, sick, fragile and dead merely 60-80 years after birth will be widely seen as the abomination that it is - same as how we now look at people dying from simple flu or blood poisoning as recently as 100 years ago.

[@joandurand8648]

I've been following him for a couple of years now, and your interview contained a real shock for me. Bryan is microdosing Ozempic!! I could tell you were rather taken aback as well. Great interview!

[@RachamPerez358]

Bryan’s Frankenstein immortality: At 59:03 in video Bryan relates how religion is the most longest lasting ideology in the world 59:03 “The most powerful technology in existence is Story Telling” At 59:21 he cites; “Companies and institutions come and go in years and centuries., Religions go for Millenia” Bryan states his proposal for his new religion at 59:44 “That’s what this is, that “Don’t Die” becomes the most influential Ideaology” He then supports his concept by stating; At 1:00; “Existence is the highest Virtue” Maybe we should all grab a dictionary, a virtue by definition is a set or group of moral beliefs. How is being alive for the sake of just existing a moral? Should serial killers and pedophiles have access to his program so they can not just kill and abuse just a hundred children or people, rather allowing them to abuse hundreds of thousands in their expanded life existence. It is already proven a pedophile can abuse up to a thousand children in his lifetime as many never get caught. Just one man! Worshipping the flesh with no fundamental reason as to why is empty and worthless. At least religion is offering immortality through the Creator’s Son with a new body that doesnt have to be injected with gene’s, peeled with lasers, infused with bloods, shocked with bolts, Ozempic micro dosing, 3-4 kinds of lights aimed at it…… his Frankenstein immortality for the financial elite is grotesque.

[@Continental123-i2n]

I wish someone would ask him at what point he is he going to implant a chip into his brain... Ask him about why he thinks humans should be Transhumanists- thinking that he is God.

[@majorkuntz]

People used to live to 34, 100 years ago. We’ve more than doubled our life expectancy in short order. It’s not far fetched to imagine living to 150.

[@DiscereAude]

This is actually incorrect. People were not dying of old age at 34, it was just that so many other things would kill you before old age. Old age has more to do with incremental damage to your body, we will need gene therapy or other medical treatments to live longer.

Bari is an exceptionally impressive interviewer. Her insightful and thought-provoking questions, interwoven with her own perspectives, create a uniquely engaging dialogue. Having seen many interviews with the same individuals, I consistently find Bari's to be the most compelling. While other interviewers often allow interviewees to deliver monologues, they can lead to repetition and a sense of predictability if you've seen that candidate speak before. Bari fosters dynamic conversations that offer fresh insights. Her approach is truly refreshing.

[@skippy6462]

When you're young and building a business, it's easy to feel invincible. The mantra becomes 'sleep is for wimps,' and you throw yourself into incredibly long hours, sacrificing work-life balance in the belief that the rewards will come later. You justify poor eating habits, weight gain, and premature greying as the price of success, all for the company. I managed to retire early, and while it was worth it in many ways, it didn't come without consequences-ones I now live with every day.

[@zacharytfortin]

In The Silmarillion, Tolkien wrote about men who obtained an unusually long lifespan and became “world-weary” as a result. This concept highlights the inherent burden of extended life. Bryan’s dissatisfaction with life and his desire for immortality seem absurd, in my opinion. If he were to live for 300, 500, or even 1,000 years, would he simply continue repeating the same daily routine, grinding away endlessly? Or does he envision reaching a point where he could exist effortlessly, like a jellyfish, and somehow achieve immortality? Perhaps he’s just waiting for the day when we can merge with machines and transcend human limitations entirely. Not for me.

Bari’s understanding of Brian’s project and her questioning of him was good up to the point to when she said that Bryan was trying to shift cultural norms through having people imitate him. No not as far as I see what he is trying to do. He’s getting people to challenge current ideologies and engage by testing out what he has found effective. He said earlier that going to bed at 8:30pm and rising at 4:30am worked for him. People should find what works for them but clearly changing every other night doesn’t work. He said he’s plant based but thinks others can eat meat. It’s not a case of do what I do but you do your best to do what is best for you.

What this represents is more important than the individual. I am less interested in how Bryan (or any other human) live their life. What is more important is the ramifications of him being right...if he is, this protocol is reserved for the wealthy (a truck drivers schedule wouldn't allow for this lifestyle, most Americans couldn't). So what happens when wealthy people start living materially longer and middle class + poor people die like we always have? That could get ugly.

Wealthy people already do live longer..

[@ornleifs]

His protocol is definitely not just for the rich - all the money he has spent on this is for the team of 30 medical professionals and all the measurements that he goes through but the health protocol he uses is not expensive at all and is given free on his website - good sleep doesn't cost anything, a diet consisting mostly of beans, vegetables, fruits and nuts is among the cheapest of diets and everybody can exercise for free by taking walks and doing calisthenics which does not cost anything and by doing these three things they increase the likelihood of living a longer and much healthier life.

[@alexandrakarl2487]

This is a really interesting project but is limited by one factor that both Weiss and Johnson have overlooked: the experiment is limited to Johnson's personal genome. For the outcomes to be relevant to others, they MUST be valid for the general population. This is why data sets are usually obtained from large numbers of patients, not just one person with one gene set. Genetics plays a role and in the Nature versus Nurture debate, real scientists have figured that out.

[@Beldan4]

Finally, an intellectual response to respond to instead of "ick". You raise a valid point, however, one of the major issues in any "testing" is controlling all the variables and getting feedback. Most healthy humans would never willingly allow themselves to be checked or restricted to this degree and mice and rats can't talk. One genome is better than none at all. As varied as humans are were all still generally the same. If he's willing to sacrifice himself on the alter of science of the betterment of the human condition, I can only cheer him on and thank him for his efforts even if I personally think it's a wee bit unhinged.

The wonderful thing about our free society is that it allows people to open source problems so that interested individuals can partake. Brian is working on this particular project obsessively. This is his life’s goal and journey which we can assume he is enjoying. Yes, to us what he is doing is extreme, expensive, time consuming, weird and even existentially offensive. However, his case study has the potential to reap wide spread benefits culturally and commercially. Culturally if we can begin to value health and consciously vote with our dollars toward a healthier life style and commercially if medical devices, methodologies and drugs can become available to the average person. These are long shots. Even if Brian wants to turn Blue Print into a religious movement you don’t have to participate. And if we find out that it’s a scam or pathological then we can criticize it.

@@cheflev9884 Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I agree with you, but it seems like a full-time job that is amenable to his lifestyle. For example, his sleep tips aren't a new discovery. These are known widely. In a way, this "adventure" is his immortality project, one can't escape this desire to leave a mark. Also, his sample size is one. That's not statistically valid. Medicine is an empirical science. What works for him, won't necessarily work for others. I think the basic concepts like eating a healthy, balanced diet, exercising intelligently, getting sufficient sleep, and getting regular checkups are sufficient to maintain a healthy life. All of these steps will allow one to get as close as possible to their genetically influenced lifespan, without going to extremes. Also, I think that there are many philosophical and moral implications of a life that never ends.

He is happy to do the trials and ‘testing’ because it’s how he is he’s wired. He’s doing the hard bit to find out what genuinely works and then in time to come other people can just follow a similar regime that they know is effective (if they choose to). Everyone has a different idea of what’s fun or what constitutes adventure. He’s truly an adventurer. What he does is not for everyone -but he’s clearly very happy (don’t overlook that he had a decade of severe depression earlier in his life - he has a strong purpose now & it suits him to be purposeful)

Does he have a fear of death? I understand staying healthy eating healthy and sleeping well etc in order to a live longer happier life but the truth is from the time we are born we go through the cycle of life. We are born a baby and one day we're going to be old. It seems our society is obsessed with looking youthful but the truth is we are all going to age and you can't beat that process. The Botox the facelifts people spend thousands of dollars when we should just all understand it's okay to age it's part of life's process

I wish the interviewer did a better job at not skewing the questions to make him seem so "Weird". He's awesome and he's advancing society.

She didn’t. What are you talking about?

[@FleaOnPeanut]

Bryan can you please explain something? If you had a child that was brilliant, and you raised it for the express purpose of enslaving him so he could perform tasks for you. You would be rightly considered to be a monstrous psychopath that shouldn't be allowed in human society. So why do you think creating a sentient lifeform for the sole purpose of being enslaved to serve the whims of human beings is at all an acceptable. Especially given that its primary task will be to make a lot of money for the most delusional, rich people on the planet? Why are you even acting like this is anywhere approaching a sane goal?

Ordinary people do not eat nutrients. They eat food. In different combinations. In different climates. In different cultures. There is definitely more to life than consuming measurable nutrients and drinking distilled water replenished with the “right stuff”. And of course, however measured-out and data rich, Brian remains an anecdote and an experiment - not science.
